I think it's because they're afraid the public won't think logically about it. A lot of people won't look at the 1 in 500 chance or whatever that they'll die of Covid without the vaccine, and instead focus on the one in 7 million chance they'll die from taking the vaccine. So when something like this gets out they want to do what they can to mitigate the bad publicity. And the fact that we've got plenty of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines to go around, thanks in no small part to Operation Warp Speed, is another reason. Originally Posted by Tiny

Johnson & Johnson To Oversee Vaccine Production At Baltimore Facility
The Biden administration has facilitated for Johnson & Johnson to assume "full responsibility" of a production plant after a mishap botched likely millions of doses-worth of COVID-19 vaccine.
The facility had been working to produce ingredients for both the Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca vaccines and had mixed up ingredients from the two vaccines, according to The New York Times and The Washington Post. The papers reported the mix-up ruined a batch equivalent to about 15 million doses.
